New Blogging Goal*
I have decided to add one more goal of my list of resolutions: I want to write in my blog at least once for every single day of 2009. I started out writing my blog this way, but then life got in the way and I kept pushing it aside. But the thing is, I love writing, and I want to pursue that someday, so I’m going to try and leave something here every day. Some days it might not be much, but please keep me accountable! haha Last year I wrote 192 posts (up from my 151 posts in 2007), but I want to have at least 365 for…

Looking Back on 2008*
I really wanted to write this post last night, but the Hubster and I ended up having a late dinner and watching one of my all-time favourite movies together, The Legend of 1900. It’s a longer movie, and by the time it ended it was already after midnight… so I decided to postpone my reflection of 2008 until this morning. And so, here I am. Get ready, this will probably be a long post. :) How is it even possible that we are already in 2009? Think about it… I still remember writing 1999 at the top of the page when I wrote out the date, and here we are…

So I thought I’d post a few tips / tricks / ideas that helped me get started. 1. Inspiration.Before I could really make a commitment to exercise I needed a good kick in the pants. When I went home in the spring I realized that I was the only member of my family that didn’t exercise on a regular basis. Big Dad is an avid tennis player and hits the gym almost even morning.…

Back on Track*
I’ve been lazy. Since I started working a couple of weeks ago I’ve used it as an excuse not to exercise. Well, after being inspired by an entry in a friend’s blog about her perseverance towards her weight loss goal (and her revelation that she’s lost 20 pounds!!) and a further kick in my pants in the form of an email of one of my readers, I kicked my butt into gear and went for a run today. I normally run though the residential neighborhoods nearby, but today I decided to run on a high school track that’s not far from where I am. I find it’s easier to monitor…
